Varanasi: Past Life, Future Light…
"As the flight descended towards Varanasi, {November 2018} the power we felt was palpable… An incredible ferocity filled my body, my veins…
Even on the flight to Varanasi I was in a tumult: "My whole being was pulled towards a place, an epicenter, no, not The Kashi Vishwanath Temple… But close… As I touched I was transformed… Strange heads burst from my head… Animal Heads… I could hear, feel touch… But it extended deeper… It was like I was the soil… the river… So many voices, so many tastes… so many memories…
"Wearing ram’s coiled and curling horns I stepped out into the pedestrian tawdriness of The Benares airport…
And as we do so, we reveive a great wealth of gifts...
Revelation 1: More Than a Cultural Closeness: "While Celia had no past life connection, she too could feel the Shaktis of the city, related but different from Bangalore…
"Now Celia & I do not have a deep cultural connection with Varanasi unlike many Indians… For we have been born into other religious traditions whose cultural epicenters are in Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Rome, Syria…
"But for us Varanasi was a revelation, a shock, a great and incredible delight… The very ground beneath our feet vibrated… As the shaktis welcomed us… the incredible packed streets… centuries of history formed an assault…
"And over and above this was a cry from a deep side of myself that called it home…
"Naturally we paid a visit to the Kashi Vishwanath Temple… The medievally restored Kashi Vishwanath Temple… for the old one was subsumed by a conqueror…
"But the temple itself however revered was not the draw to my psyche… To the left was a temple in the distance, 500 feet away… “Come, come it called me”, but barbed wire stood in the way, for it was one of the many temples uncovered… by ‘Modi’s drive’ to rereveal Varanasi’s medieval grandeur... We could see about 8-12 temples, emerging from rubble… Incredibly many had been encircled by houses, taken over by encroachments…
Revelation 2: Trans-religeous Respect: "What was incredible to us… was the fact, that many of these havelis had not destroyed the temples, but rather had simply circled themselves around the ancient stone… And most were intact, pristine, released from their cocoons… Just because, landowners had centuries ago taken over the temple space, clearly most still revered a sacred site…
"The moment when you stand near where you have once lived centuries ago, you feel a deep wrenching in the belly… It is like the very land says ‘I Know You’. And something deep answers… “I Know You Too…”
"What was I? Centuries ago? A bull? A ram? A pony?
"Through ancient eyes I remember purple lightning streaking above. I feel exultant as I smash a rival, horns locked… I remember skipping with a shadow…
"It was 2 years ago, 2018, when we went to Varanasi… A week that enriched us with centuries of life…
Revelation 3: The Incredible Power of an Animal Past Life: "But it is time to ask, how has remembering this animal past life enriched me? Well before, I came to Varanasi, for 4 decades from the mid 80’s I have been sensing Past Lives. And Celia has done so from the early 90’s…
"Well, this past life gave me not just a life, it gave me a region, a city, a history… It gave me a deep and intimate contact with the shaktis of an entire region 1000’s of kilometers wide…
"Many who sense past lives treasure their lives as Kings, Sages, Warriors, Musicians, Dancers… That is short-sighted… For animals have a very different consciousness and a very different grasp of life…
Revelation 4: By Selectively Modulating Past Life Awareness, Divine Beings Can Shift Soul Trajectory: "Incidentally, this particular ram past life is proximally connected to another where I am a sage/priest… But this connection was deliberately dampened by my Gods so we could reveal a new stream of spiritual consciousness… more appropriate for the 2050’s…"
Now as we look at some of these aspects we begin to realise there are incredible implications. And one line of exploration is obviously what The Shaktis can show...
The Soul, Mass Animal Consciousness, Shakti & Past Life: Some Questions, Answers, Revelations!
Using my connect to the Ram Life, I throw my consciousness out, into the area around Varanasi. I get the feet of a farmer; A bull tired, shaking its horns in a stable, a couple making love and merging with the earth; A man cutting the throat of a bird, its strength ebbing into the ground, An earthworm, An old fort, A low slung prehistoric beast {Incidentally this one seemed to have 6 legs, or two ground scraping horns or spines}...
Revelation 5: Animal Consciousness: Now in the exercise above, most of the connections I made to other beings was through the ram consciousness connecting to other species or entities. Now this is not strictly speaking a shakti knowledge, but a racial consciousness connect.
And sometimes we focus only on Soul-Shakti and forget there are a range of other significant consciousness.
Revelation 6: The Soul is Not... All-knowing... we Extend it! Now here's the thing: Most of this knowledge I receive, before my soul has it. Once I sense it, my soul can sense greater information. But I knew more than my soul or helped show the soul what it did not know. Once the soul gathers my knowing, it can come close to what I know. And even know far more. But...
Revelation 7: The Shakti's Power, Wealth, Interconnectivity & Vehemence: But... when I taste the blood of the bird on the ground. I experience it wth the local land shakti's senses... When I crosscheck I realise that the savour of soil, blood, life, mineral-richness I have is far truer than what my soul can get. Compared to my rendition the Soul's reception of what I receive seems painted in watercolour... all pretty, but not gritty. When I put this down, my soul attempts to discover what it has missed. It now gets a deeper, earthier version, but it is exaggerated.
Here I don't just briefly know more than my soul... But I become the soul's tongue to experience consciousness it cannot easily access!
For example, using The Shakti's power I get that 2026 was a phase that was saddening for Uttarakhand. Why? Is it because of a rinderpest contagion or Chinese incursion or dam-break? As of now it is not clear...
There are key areas where The Shakti far surpasses The Soul's Knowledge. First Power. The Shakti is far far more powerful. Second, while The Soul retains greater innocence and clarity, the density of The Shakti's creativity is impossible to comprehend. Again when it comes to interconnectivity, the kind of networks The Shakti spins is far richer and more differentiated.
Revelation 8: Shakti-Soul-Ego Interaction: Typically in most Egoic interaction with Soul & Shakti, The Ego may send messages heard by only The Soul, The Shakti or both. Again The Soul may choose to shift its impulses in a few key ways. It may send impulses that modulate modulate Egoic Behaviour, or Shakti expression and even shift Past-Life&Current-Life Interaction. And The Shakti may shift behaviour, animal impulse, even offer alternate life trajectories and timelines.
But there came a time when my soul attempting to grasp the lessons from the experience drew on a wide bandwidth. At which point 'my shakti' decided to leap across and examined the various reincarnations of my being, connecting to vast mass of Shaktis across time and regions. This is highly unusual.
We can go on, but the sheer feast is heavy and needs to be thought over slowly... Our bones need to feed on it...
